Last night right before I fell asleep I had a revelation!
It ocurred to me that I could make up my very own holiday, and I decided it was going to be "The Penacho Day" (*Penacho is the word in spanish for those indian headresses).
I seriously love penachos, but I never get the chance to wear them without having someone staring at me like Im some sort of V.I.P pacient from a mental institution, so in penacho's day it is going to be all the way around, and we can all stare at the "weirdos" who don’t wear one (I know... worldwide price of cleverness goes to... me)!
So if you wanna have a nice and lovely Penacho day like me, here’s what you must do:First of all. You obviously have to wear a headress...and if you dont own one then make it! I mean thats the whole point...Second. You have got to have a picnic on Penacho's day! It doesnt matter if its on the forest, the beach or even in your own backyard, thats the tradition!Third. You gotta wear funky makeup... and rock it! (Don´t get to excited on this one, it isn’t mardi gras) Fourth. In most holidays people exchange gifts, and this wont be the exception. What to give? Easy! On penacho day it is all about creativity, so make a cd with your favorite songs or a drawing and exchange it with your closest friends and loved ones.Fifth. Just have fun with it!Optionals: Have a hookah, get someone to play the guitar or the ukulele, have fruit infussion teas or frappes, get a henna tattoo.

Hi, I think you really missed the whole point of the post, it obviously isn’t intended to be offensive or disrespectful by any means.Im from Mexico, and here mayans and aztecs used to wear feathered headdresses as crowns and war trophees since the XIV Century! (Moctezuma´s headdress sounds familiar?) so they are also part of my culture and my roots, and I just happen to love them. The colors, the craftmanship, the way they use nature to create beautiful pieces of art and clothing!You have got to understand that fashion inspiration comes from all sorts of cultures and periods of time! And the incorporation of this into our modern life is what makes them so unique. A mixture of cultures, traditions and time.This is not playing indian, is just coming back to my roots and making them prevail through time.Cheers!
